Yes, we've also run into similar problems with pydot2 and<br>
funcparserlib, and I'm sure there's plenty more of what is<br>
effectively abandonware lingering in various projects' requirements<br>
lists. The long and short of it is that people with newer versions<br>
of SetupTools are going to be unable to install those, full stop.<br>
The maintainers of some of them may be spurred to action and release<br>
a new version, but in so doing may also drop support for older<br>
interpreters we still test with on some stable branches (this was<br>
the case with funcparserlib).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Apparently, suds-jurko has the same problem, breaking oslo.vmware [1] and thus cinder.</div><div><br></div><div>Dmitry</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.vmware/+/813377">https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.vmware/+/813377</a></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

On the other hand, controlling what version of SetupTools others<br>
have and use isn't always possible, unlike runtime dependencies, so<br>
that really should be a solution of last resort. Making exceptions<br>
to stable branch policy in unusual circumstances such as this seems<br>
like a reasonable and more effective compromise.<br>
